Wei Bao didn't know how to answer: "It's a little lively, mother, you can go and see it together, it must be better than the old play." ”

"Go, go, aunt." Wu Xuexia's small mouth called a sweet.

"Okay, go." Huang Ying said happily, secretly thinking that the eldest lady of the Wu family is more likable than the eldest lady Zhao, and it is really everyone's daughter, not only knowledgeable, but also very good at dealing with people, even I am an unfamiliar person, she can take care of it very well.

Wei Bao saw his mother's reaction in his eyes, and was secretly a little worried, didn't he say that he would let you play with my father, so that Wu Xuexia felt that being the daughter-in-law of the Wei family was a boring thing, so that she would retreat and take the initiative to refuse me? You make the atmosphere so good, like the love of your future in-laws to see your daughter-in-law, what is the effect of this, what is the effect?

Wei Bao was worried, Wu Sanfu was very happy when he saw this situation, and he was relieved to see that Wu Xuexia seemed to be a little flattering to Wei's mother.

I know that Wu Xuexia is definitely a little interesting to Wei Bao, but I have never seen my sister so enthusiastic about others.

Even her aunt and uncle's wife came to Wu Mansion as a guest, and Xue Xia had never been so enthusiastic.

A group of people, led by Wei Bao, went to the spacious place outside the gate of Wei Mansion.

Deng Daliang and Deng Erxian and others came quickly, because Wang Qiuya asked Pegasus to pass the word, and they were very anxious, so Deng Daliang and others also took the exclusive carriage of the Military Industry Administration, and they came at a gallop with things.

The group stepped forward to greet President Wei, not on an internal occasion, they uniformly called Wei Bao Gongzi.

When Wu Xuexia saw Wei Bao's subordinates, they all had clear standard clothing, although they were all strange 'riding clothes', but those related to the military seemed to be mainly dark colors, either gray and black, or black, and most of them were related to management, and most of them wore blue uniforms.

This aroused Wu Xuexia's suspicions, and as she observed Weijiazhuang, Wu Xuexia felt more and more that Weijiazhuang was more like a court than the imperial court, and the large and small 'yamen' were very specific, so many people, but they could remain orderly.

Wu Xuexia guessed that all this should have been made by Wei Bao, but she secretly couldn't see it, Wei Bao always looked indifferent on weekdays, but his mind was so meticulous, and he made so many doorways, what was this for?

Relying on these yamen and rules of Weijiazhuang alone, Wu Xuexia felt that if Wei Bao could compete with the Wu family under the same conditions, the Wu family's business would all be defeated by Wei Bao within a few days.

After drinking Wei Bao's four special wines twice, Wu Xuexia could see that just the wine, Weijiazhuang's four special wines were far above the aging of Wufu Laojiao!

This is still a freshly brewed wine, and it tastes very good after drinking, but it is not on the head, and it recovers quickly after waking up.

The Wei family's dishes are also delicious, Wu Xuexia's mouth is extremely picky, the Wei family's chef is comparable to the palace kitchen, she can't understand where Wei Bao can get so many good cooks who make money in a short period of time?

Anyway, the more I know about Weijiazhuang, every matter in Weijiazhuang is shocking Wu Xuexia, and I feel that it is much stronger than the outside world.

"How's the fire going?" Wei Bao asked Deng Erxian softly, he hasn't been to the Military Industry Bureau these days, so he doesn't know what Deng Erxian's progress is now, Deng Erxian is the team leader in charge of the smokeless fire project.

"I don't know if it's a figure, but now it's 50 times more powerful than the previous Black Fire Blade! The performance is stable, and several thermal tests and crash tests have been done, and now we are not afraid of high temperature and collision. Deng Erxian replied.

Wei Bao was pleasantly surprised: "I should have told me a long time ago, this is done!" "Hurry up and see the fire.

I saw a bag of fire buds brought by Deng Erxian, showing bright yellow, and each one was no longer powder, but crystals like millet grains.

Although Wei Bao had never been in contact with fire in later generations, his research on chemistry during this period was on a higher level, and he knew that he must have undergone plasticization processing, so he couldn't help but ask Deng Erxian softly: "How did this happen?" ”

Originally, according to the information and ideas collected by Wei Bao, smokeless flame is still in the state and stage of nitrocellulose, and I didn't expect it to crystallize.

Deng Erxian was not very proud, and reported softly: "These days, I have experimented with thousands of ingredients, and a few days ago I accidentally found that nitrocellulose and a fiber were added, and then mixed with fire, naturally air-dried, and then crushed, and then it was like this, not only the effect was better than the previous reaction, but also more stable, and now even if the large barrels are transported, there is no need to worry about exploding during transportation." For example, the previous bottle bomb will not cause an explosion as long as the safety device of the detonator is not opened, even if the bottle bomb collides and shatters. ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that this was a complete success: "Okay! Your work is epoch-making! Your name will go down in history! I want to reward you again! ”

Deng Erxian didn't think about it so much, but when he heard President Wei say this, his face turned red, because of her long-term work in the laboratory, her originally dark complexion has become black and red, a little whiter than before.

"It's all the result of the president's finger painting, I just execute, I don't dare to call the credit." Deng Erxian said modestly.

"Nope! It's your hard work and luck! Wei Bao smiled happily.

Today is happier than any other day, because Wei Bao really can't believe that a person like Deng Erxian, who has almost no foundation in chemistry, has a level of education that is even difficult to count as a primary school graduate, and it only took three or four months to get the smokeless fire out?

Wei Bao personally thinks that the production level of this smokeless fire has definitely reached the level of the seventies and eighties of the 20th century, and it would be a miracle if he could get the level of smokeless fire at the end of the 18th century according to the information extracted from the Internet by the three 'keen crossing giant' brothers in his hand.

Now Deng Erxian is tantamount to raising the level of Huobao technology for a full three and a half centuries, from 1624 to the 1980s, isn't it three and a half centuries?

It's a pity that the steel industry didn't start, otherwise you could start to engage in guns and artillery, right?

Under the condition that the steel technology can keep up, all kinds of military weapons can be carried out.

Wei Bao was filled with shocked joy and summoned Fan Xiaolin.

"Childe." Fan Xiaolin didn't know what to do with her at this time, and said that she wouldn't mess with the things of the Military Industry Bureau.

"Reward Deng Erxian with 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver! Tomorrow, on behalf of me, you will go to Gunship Bay to hold a commendation meeting! In the future, anyone who makes a breakthrough in science and technology, no matter how big or small, will be rewarded, and the breakthrough personnel must apply for patents! My patents belong to the organization, and the patents of people in other organizations also belong to the organization, but the contributions of individuals must not be forgotten. Wei Bao commanded excitedly.

Wei Bao attaches great importance to patent secrecy, if not, bring a bunch of novel technologies and immediately make wedding dresses for others, this kind of thing, Wei Bao will not do.

However, Weibao also encourages the improvement of the overall scientific and technological level of the private sector, allowing everyone to come up with patented technology and support it!

So much?

Deng Erxian and Fan Xiaolin were shocked, so much gold and silver?

"President, I didn't do anything without so much." Deng Erxian hurriedly whispered: "Now that Weijiazhuang has started so many big projects, many places need to use silver. ”

Wei Bao listened to Deng Erxian's words, his heart was warm, and he knew that this girl who looked like a man really regarded Weijiazhuang and Tiandihui as her home, and said with a smile: "No matter how short of silver there is, what should be rewarded should also be rewarded, not only for you personally, but also to encourage future generations." ”

Fan Xiaolin also said: "Yes, the president said that he wanted to give, so he couldn't refuse." Then he said to President Wei: "Childe, I will do it tomorrow and sign it for me at night, otherwise I won't be able to withdraw the gold." ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, Fan Xiaolin only had working capital, only silver, and a large amount of gold and silver were stored in the treasury built in the warship bay, which was guarded by a special person from the escort team, and a whole company was dedicated to guarding the treasury.

"Xiaobao, what are you busy with? Okay, no? What novelty will you show us? "Wu Sanfu is here.

Wei Bao said with a smile: "Right away, right away, come here, set the table, let everyone sit first, drink tea and tea, go and notify the people who don't work nearby, and let everyone prepare to watch the fireworks." ”

Wei Bao's entourage hurriedly agreed and went separately to prepare.

"Fireworks? What are fireworks? "Wu Sanfu is like a curious baby.

"I'll find out right away." Wei Bao smiled slightly, and then said to Deng Erxian the approximate method and effect of manufacturing.

Wu Sanfu sighed, and immediately went to tell the others like a radio that there were going to be fireworks on Wei Baobao.

Now this kind of thing of making fireworks and firecrackers can be regarded as a piece of cake for Deng Erxian, and then he knew what the president was in a hurry to recruit them to do today, and immediately started to do it.

Wei Bao also assisted.

The main colors of the fireworks are: Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Purple, White, Gold, Silver, Green, and Cyan.

It is not difficult to create a fireworks bomb, Wei Bao's main emphasis is on the effect, he loves to show off, and pursues a fancy and pleasing pursuit of everything.

Wei Bao and the others were busy here, and Wu Xuexia couldn't help but be curious, so she also came over to take a look.

"This is fireworks?" Wu Xuexia couldn't help but ask Wei Bao.

Wei Baozheng and Deng Erxian were mixing together, looked back at Wu Xuexia, and said with a smile: "Do you want to give it a try?" ”

"Me?" Wu Xuexia's face flushed, she didn't expect Wei Bao to take care of herself, "I don't know these things, is it like a firecracker, will it explode, you be careful." ”

"So you care so much about me?" Wei Bao smiled, "It's okay, we're very safe, and as long as there are no sparks, how can we burn?" ”

Wu Xuexia snorted, squatted beside Wei Bao and watched, I didn't know how to drop, I went to Wei Bao's parents to have a meal, and now my face is still a little hot.

"It's very simple, put these metal fragments in layers, this light that glows red, this light that glows yellow, and this light that glows blue...... Well, that's all. Wei Bao taught Wu Xuexia.

Wu Xuexia let out a well-behaved sigh, and with great interest, she learned to mix metal shavings like Wei Bao.

The whole production process was fast, and because it was an experimental nature, the first fireworks were made in less than 10 minutes.

Wei Bao let me put one to try the effect first, and then it will be better to see how to improve it?

The Flower Bomb contains the following effects: Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum, Garland, Comet Tail Effect (the ball lifts off with an effect similar to a comet's tail), Burst Coconut Tree, Waterfall, Crown Waterfall, Golden Coconut Tree, etc.

Wei Bao's simple production will definitely not have so many splendid effects.

Deng Erxian asked people to tie iron pipes to several large stones that they had found and fix them on the ground.

I saw that after lighting the fuse, there was a bang, and then a beam of fire rose into the sky.

The flame flew straight up two or three hundred meters into the air!

Everywhere I passed, there were all kinds of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple light effects.

In the night, it is like sparks erupting, changing color at a moment, like a Christmas tree that grows infinitely tall.

Those small scattered circles of light are like "parachutes", like small raindrops falling from the sky, and like "Lilliputia" coming out for sightseeing and skydiving.

There were thousands of onlookers, and this time was the time of the handover of work and work, and the agricultural laborers who had not yet slept heard the noise, and looked out of the windows and ran out of the house to see, and everyone was stunned to see this strange scene.

Everyone let out loud exclamations almost uncontrollably at the same time, and their eyes widened.

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, as well as a group of female secretaries in the president's secretariat, and the maids on Wei's father and Wei's mother's side, the girls slapped happily.

"It's so beautiful." Wu Xuexia looked at the beautiful fireworks in the sky with burning eyes: "This is fireworks, as the name suggests, the flowers made of fireworks are so beautiful." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered a sentence written about fireworks in the poem "Spring Dawn at West Lake" by Wei Xian of the Qing Dynasty, and couldn't help but groan: "Ten miles of Hantang Road, half of the fireworks are awake." ”

Wu Xuexia smiled coquettishly, "I know that you are a showman, so you don't need to chant poetry, right?" Then I'll also have a sentence, however, I don't know how to compose poems, Li Bai's "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling", the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. ”

"Tang Dufu's "Qingming" in the fireworks of the Qincheng Pavilion, in the splendid mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty." Wei Bao laughed. I realized that I knew a lot of things, and I still remembered Du Fu's poems.

Not to be outdone, Wu Xuexia shook her beautiful eyes, but she couldn't think of any poems with the word fireworks, and suddenly remembered Tang Xianzu's Peony Pavilion that she saw a while ago, "Hiding in fireworks when you are sick, how do you know about medicine?" ”

"This refers to Fengyue's love, right? Is it all the way with our fireworks? Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Xuexia tilted her head, watching the image of the fireworks gradually disappear, and couldn't help but say: "Love is like this firework, no matter how beautiful it is, it will only disappear for a short while, you see, isn't there nothing?" What is the difference with Acacia? ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

"Xiaobao, it's gone? Come again! Wu Sanfu called not far away.

Wei Bao smiled: "Okay, wait a minute! ”

"I'll do it now, and I'll help too." Wu Xuexia said happily.

"Okay, but be careful not to get it in your eyes, and don't smell too much, this medicine is poisonous!" Wei Bao said: "You put on gloves and get it, if you get it on your skin, it will also hurt your skin." ”

Wu Xuexia sighed, thinking that Wei Bao knew a lot, "You guys made this medicine yourself?" This can be used as a fire for bullets, right? Our Shenji cannon, Shenwu cannon, can also use this medicine, right? Will it make our army's guns more powerful? ”

Wei Bao's heart bulged, secretly thinking that Wu Xuexia's mind was really smart, and suddenly thought of guns, so he said: "It can be, but it is difficult to make and is not suitable for mass production, so you can only occasionally set off a firework or something." ”

Wei Bao was afraid that revealing that he had the ability to make a large number of fire buds would cause trouble.

Wu Xuexia seemed to see through Wei Bao's thoughts, and snorted softly, "I won't tell others, why are you so cautious?" ”

Wei Bao was told by Wu Xuexia to think about it, smiled awkwardly, and didn't say anything.

After a while, the people of the Military Industry Administration made fireworks from the remaining fireworks, a total of more than 30 groups.

Put them up one after the other.

With a "bang", a purple "flower" soared into the colorful night sky.

The sparkles are still in the air, and they don't seem to be fully displayed.

Its most dazzling posture has been engraved in everyone's hearts and lingers.

"It's my turn, it's my turn!" Wu Xuexia was enthusiastic to order the lead in person.

An attendant looked at President Wei.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Let Miss Wu light the fire herself." He said to Wu Xuexia again: "Ignite and go away, don't get too close." ”

Wu Xuexia sighed, excited and nervous, took the incense from the hand of the servant, and made two strokes before coming up to light it, the lead sneered and sparked, Wu Xuexia snorted and ran away quickly, the action was very numb.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, looking at Wu Xuexia who stopped when he ran to his side, he seemed to be infected by Wu Xuexia's emotions, and he also felt a little young man.

How good is fourteen or fifteen years old? Don't think about anything, don't bother with the troubles of the world, just immerse yourself in the pure world, like a fairy tale.

The fireworks were surrounded by brilliant light, swirling and becoming a flowing Milky Way, and it became another moon upside down on the ground, with an indescribable harmony.

Wei Bao quietly looked up at the night sky and saw a chrysanthemum-shaped fireworks blooming in the night sky.

After the fireworks are shot into the sky, the colorful light agent burns, the fireworks overlap, and the night sky is splendid, forming a variety of beautiful patterns, making people hope that it will stay longer on this festive day.

Wu Xuexia looked back, everyone's faces were full of excitement, and their eyes revealed a happy streamer.

The fire tree and silver flowers never sleep, the glorious color is engraved in the hearts of people, and what is more beautiful is the festive and cheerful atmosphere.

"So you're going to laugh too." Wu Xuexia said to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao smiled: "I laugh a lot, okay?" I want to say facial paralysis the same. ”

"No, I mean, it's funny, you usually laugh very fakely." Wu Xuexia slapped her pink nose: "Moreover, I always deliberately pretend to be very old." ”

Wei Bao sweats, is he so fake? I'm a person who is nearly 30 years old, do I still need to pretend? I'm not a few years younger than your father Wu Xiang!

Thinking of standing and chatting with someone who is about to be his daughter, I don't know if this counts as a relationship.

Wei Bao and Sister Fang will have the feeling of falling in love when they are together, and when they are with Zhao Jinfeng, they will also have the feeling of falling in love, and when they are with Wu Xuexia, this feeling is the strongest.

In modern times, some men are nearly thirty years old and have not yet started a family, but in ancient times, it is even possible that they have become grandfathers.

Thinking of falling in love with a girl who was about to be his daughter, Wei Bao suddenly reacted, especially Wu Xuexia's delicate face with her choppy figure, and her tall and slender overall posture, which made Wei Bao angry everywhere.

Regardless of Wu Xuexia's family background, growth environment, and Wu Xuexia's brutal personality that has been formed, Wu Xuexia's appearance is completely Wei Bao's dish, and she is really the type that can play for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Wei Bao swallowed.

Wu Xuexia was blushed by Wei Bao's pink face, and her beautiful eyes turned proudly: "What? Am I not right? ”

"I didn't deliberately pretend to be old, the world is chaotic, the people are not happy, countless hungry people are displaced, green mountains and green waters, corpses and bones everywhere, such a world, how can you teach people not to grow old?" Wei Bao said indifferently.

Thinking that the germination of capitalism appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, far earlier than the origin of British capitalism, why did China not move towards the industrial revolution and capitalism, but Britain became stronger? Thinking of the suffering days of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Bao was upset.

He knew that the Industrial Revolution was the pearl of the agricultural era, and this pearl was poured with the blood of hundreds of millions of living beings.

The outbreak of the Industrial Revolution relied on a huge market, strong consumer demand, and scarce labor.

Without the fundamental contradiction between the scarcity of labor and the high demand for labor, the industrial revolution would not have been possible.

And with the barrenness of European agriculture and the ragged clothes of the medieval aristocracy, where is the strong market demand?

The answer is the Great Discoveries, and colonial plunder.

Spain's colonial plunder and genocide made the upper class aristocracy rich in an instant.

After getting rich, the consumer demand was strong, the taste for clothing, utensils and other things improved, and the labor cost of the country was high, so the British were hired to work.

In order to make profits, the British textile industry has developed rapidly, and due to the lack of manpower, the production efficiency of the machine has been continuously improved, and gradually explored, and finally there has been a breakthrough.

Technological innovation has been formed again and again, and finally the technical bottleneck of steam engine and textile machine has been broken through, and mechanized large-scale production has been realized.

Wu Xuexia looked at Wei Bao strangely, naturally she didn't know that Wei Bao was thinking about system change and development in her heart, and sighed softly: "These things are not things that you can change by worrying alone." I didn't expect you to be a person who usually looks quite ruthless, but you are so kind-hearted, no wonder you feed so many people. ”

Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, am I ruthless? No matter how ruthless I am, I am not as ruthless as your father, not as ruthless as your eldest brother, and not as ruthless as Wu Sangui, right? Wu Sangui saw at a young age that he had the potential to kill without blinking.

"Although there are many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, the wealth of the rich is plundered from the common people, the richer the wealthy, the poorer the civilians, and the final outbreak will be an unstoppable anti-people rebellion, the common people will not easily rebel until they survive, these things are naturally not your turn to be a worry-free daughter." Wei Bao said: "It's not early, Miss Wu should go back and rest early, right?" ”

"I'm pretending to be old again." Wu Xuexia smiled: "How good is it like just now?" The rebellion of the common people of the Ming Dynasty was only sporadic, and natural disasters caused the harvest to be bad, isn't this a common thing? You should smile as much as you did just now, and if you laugh, you won't have any troubles, you should be like me, hahahaha. ”

Wei Bao looked at Wu Xuexia suddenly a little heartless, looked at her girl's unique smile, and was amused and smiled, if you can really return to the state of mind of a 14-year-old person, if you don't have a little prophet of history, how good it would be.

However, in that case, he would have no money, no gold and no silver, how could he, a young man in the countryside, stand under the vast starry sky with the eldest lady of the Wu family and talk about his thoughts?

I don't know why, when Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng were together, they could tolerate Zhao Jinfeng's innocence, and it was understandable that Zhao Jinfeng didn't know about the outside world.

But Wei Bao can't tolerate Wu Xuexia's worldview, because she is Wu Xiang's daughter, Wu Xiang is a powerful figure in Liaoxi, such a child of the character's family, there are no people and no country in his heart, which shows that Wu Xiang lacks a family education in this area, can it also prove that Wu Xiang himself is a person who only has power interests, and there are no people and countries in his heart.

Also, with Zhao Jinfeng, Wei Bao naturally thought of Zhao Kehu, and felt awkward.

With Wu Xuexia, Wei Bao naturally thinks of Wu Xiang, feeling particularly awkward, although Wu Xiang always gives people a gentle and elegant feeling. But Wei Bao can see the means behind it, spicy, calm, for the sake of profit, the moves are full of tricks.

After the fireworks were over, people dispersed, all talking about the splendid scene just now, and they were all sighing that Weijiazhuang had a good day, not only to eat enough, but also to see such a beautiful landscape.

Wu Sanfu asked everyone not to disturb Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia, and Wei's father, Wei's mother, and others went back first.

Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui also went back, only Wang Qiuya and the president's guards followed Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia in the distance.

The two of them walked for a while, and Wei Bao sent Wu Xuexia back to the guest house.

Wang Qiuya served Wei Bao to bathe, change clothes, and go to bed, she didn't ask Wei Bao about Wu Xuexia, and Wei Bao didn't plan to say it.

Wei Bao was still thinking about opening up overseas trade as soon as possible.

As a small country, Britain can rise through the enclosure movement, through the brutal oppression of civilians.

Civilians who can't survive can go overseas as adventurers, and after a hundred deaths, as long as they live, they may still be able to mix like dogs.

In the Ming Dynasty, the people led by Li Zicheng taught the big landlord class to be human beings in minutes.

Therefore, Wei Bao thinks that it seems inappropriate to say that the people of the Ming Dynasty are lambs and elk, and the Han people are actually quite capable of making trouble, but most of them are fighting in the rat's nest, and they are very fierce internally, and there are few real heroes externally.

The country is too large, the population is large, the systemic risk outbreak coefficient is very high, and the Ming Dynasty has a large number of laborers, and the research and development power of machine production is insufficient, after all, the cost of research and development and use of machines is also very high.

Even in the later generations of Weibao, China is more willing to use mature and cheap overseas technologies than independent research and development.

The Ming Dynasty had a large area and a large population. The development of the North and the South is very different, and the social structure is also unstable. Peasant uprisings are frequent, the southwest wilderness and so on.

Wei Bao feels that the area factor is very crucial.

The backward communication in ancient times inevitably led to the strengthening of centralized power, and the local autonomy was very weak under the strengthened centralization, and the majority of the people were still bound by the natural economy, so it can be said that they were incapable of innovation.

The major innovations in the modern West, including the inventions of ancient China, basically came from the well-fed aristocracy, bureaucracy and other classes.

However, the Ming Dynasty was still due to geographical and demographic factors, the political situation was very complicated, and the struggle between the various factions was infighting, and due to the ideological absolutism of the literary prison and the imperial examination system, the phenomenon of high-level officials was very serious, and good officials had to be involved.

There are very few people like Song Yingxing, he has no official work, so he is devoted to science, and he is only half a bucket of water, he knows a little bit of everything, but he is not in-depth, he can only be regarded as a statistician, a compiler and collector of various disciplines.

Orthodox, official scientists, scientists like Xu Guangqi, do not have the suitable soil provided by the Ming government to further improve scientific and technological achievements.

However, countries such as Britain have small territories and small populations, so there will not be a situation where the strength of a certain class is extremely large. On the contrary, it is easy to create a relaxed socio-economic environment.

When ancient China was in its heyday, it was mostly friendly trade with foreign countries, rather than Britain and France and other countries colonizing and accumulating capital.

At that time, the Chinese people generally believed that the outside world was a wild place, and European countries struggled to explore and learn from the outside world after the dark Middle Ages.

Wei Bao felt that this was also an unsolvable problem. When people are strong themselves, they are easy to be proud and have no solution.

Although China does not engage in plunder, the country is also huge.

But being strong is a drag on me.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty can really be said to be the strongest in the world.

Naively imagining that if it develops steadily, it will not be delayed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even if it stagnates development, the military of the Ming Dynasty can really crush Britain, France and other European countries hundreds of years later. It will not be reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in modern times.

Wei Bao can be sure that the industrial revolution is not a matter of course, it will kill many people.

The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population, and without a strong government to lead industrialization, various forces were divided into civil wars in minutes, and the Civil War was no worse.

When the Boxer swept through the Central Plains, it dismantled the railroad tracks, picked up the wires, and urgently destroyed the steamer.

It's not that no government is willing to touch this mold.

What incentive did a Qing empire that was still unrivaled in the world at the end of the eighteenth century learn from the tricks of the West?

At that time, Western industrial products were really not good.

Just like Wei Bao now, there are several fist products, and Wei Bao also thinks that it is very in line with the needs of the people.

Although Wu Xiang and the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong made a hindrance and resisted it, it is still difficult to break the self-sufficient economic model of this era, and no matter how good new commodities are, it is difficult to enter people's lives.

In the modern Qing Dynasty, it was really a few decades of hard work that was surpassed, and it was slapped a few times, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was able to engage in some industry, and when it came to the golden decade, the right to speak was taken away by the big landlords and compradors, and there was no room for the development of national capital.

After thinking about it in bed, Wei Bao thought of Wu Xuexia again.

If he really became the son-in-law of the Wu family, would he really be able to test the new system in Weijiazhuang with peace of mind and play a small industrial society?
